Performance Artist James Franco to Return for Another Stint On General Hospital

When James Franco joined the cast of General Hospital in late 2009, he raised a few eyebrows. Why, the adoring fray asked, would such our beloved writer/actor James Franco join the campiest of daytime soaps? It’s performance art, of course!

“When we realized James would be in L.A. for the Oscars and all the other awards shows, we asked if he’d consider coming back and doing a little something for us,” General Hospital executive producer Jill Farren Phelps told TV Guide. “He was happy to do it and requested that we use the appearance to plug his next story. He’s also expressed an interest in directing at GH. He’s been really, really good to us. Whatever James wants, we’d love to make it happen!”
